Installation; Installation Position; Installation Height - Honda BF2A Owner's Manual

3. INSTALLATION
It is your responsibility to choose a
boat suitable for the engine.
2.0
HP (1.5 kW)
Do not exceed the boat manu-
facturer's power recommendation.
Damage and injury may result.
1 . Installation position
install at the stern, at the center line of
the boat.
2. Installation height
For proper propeller depth and engine
cooling, the boat's transom height
must match the motor's shaft length.
This outboard motor is intended for
use with boats that have a transom
height of:
380
mm (15.0 in)
Once the boat is in the water and
loaded, check proper motor depth by
looking at the anti-ventilation plate:
with the motor not running, the plate
should be below the surface of the
water.
TER SURFACE
100 mm(3.9 in)
ANTi-VENTILATON
PLATE
It should be about:
100
mm (3.9 in)
During operation, check to be sure the anti-ventilation plate remains under
water at all times and that water flows from the water check hole.
Excessive or imbalanced loading will affect the motor's water depth.
Loading too far forward will raise the motor out of the water, reducing
engine cooling. Loading too much or too far rearward will push the motor
deeper, reducing performance.
STERN CENTER
TRANSOM HEIGHT
Insufficient water supply (anti-ventilation plate out of the water) may
cause overheating that will damage the outboard motor.
